when will pedestrian have the right to walk on pedestrian foot path, minus the speedsters (pma / pmd / cyclists)

with minimum distance of 1.5 metres from speedsters :LOL:
Erm, think some would say, the pavement is for the public, and that include other lesser vehicles user, don't like don't use? Not like individuals paid for it to be privatised or what. :o:s22:

Anyway, think ebike not suppose to go on pavement. Sometimes cyclist see them come head on narrow pavement also scare. Cause they often seems too fast too powerful, even when they are travelling slow.

Cyclist at least need use effort to speed up. Thus there is a limit to how fast bicycle can go typically, since most cyclists are ordinary people don't have that much strength to bother speed up and maintain the speed alot.

Anyway think now in some neighbourhood they already starting to expand the pavement wider, think at least twice the width than before. Think its to accommodate more cyclist perhaps.

Road users pay road taxes for the roads they are using. What did the cyclists pay for? Just their bicycles? Let's be real, I don't want to be footing their bill through higher general taxes so that they can cycle freely.

And yes, accountability. Now the cyclists have no insurance coverage. If they bang into other cars, how to claim? Civil lawsuit? Like that just scrap car insurance totally, we all just do civil lawsuit instead of insurance claims so that all have equal rights? While we're at that, scrap the road tax too. Equal rights right?

i am still ok with cyclist sharing, since they are human leg powered.

however, for the longest time, authority still ignoring the pmd illegally speeding on the pavement.

for pma, plenty of fake disabled using them and speeding :LOL:

better not listen to those rubbish ideas from cyclists. later people organize marathon kakis and run on planned cycling routes. marathoners run on lane 1 & block the cyclists, who will in turn siam to lane 2. then what?

it's also not feasible to collect road tax & paste number plates on bicycles. many poor people ride it to save transport costs. food delivery needs cyclists. this will further drive up inflation. the best action is no action

cyclists are grouped together with slow moving lorries that insist on sticking to LANE 2 when lane 3 is clear, reckless drivers and inconsiderate motorists - road PEST

cyclist don’t have road insurance, if they cause damage to motor vehicle, motorist has to bear the cost of fault that they did not cause.
